I have a Morrow MD3 at home myself. I usually use the terminal that came with it (its my diary computer, nothing like obsolecence for security purposes). You might want to try Zterm. Its a really good program, and should give you more bang for your buck. The only problem you might have with the Morrow is that CP/M uses a strange terminal type. I think its called ADM33 or something like that (in reference to the original dumb terminal that used it). Unfortunately, its not easy to change the terminal emulation the machine uses. I think that the original Morrow disks did come with different terminal emulations (depending on which terminal you purchased). You might try going back and seeing if the emulation can be set for VT-100. It was a common terminal for the time, and it is emulated very well by Mac programs. Sorry I can't be of more help, I haven't changed my terminal emulation, just know of the possibility that it can be changed. I did some quick looking in my CP/M books, but they're rather like reading Unix MAN pages, mostly stuff for people who already know what they're doing. Good luck!
